Girls weekend in St. George, Utah!

I met three of my college roommates in St. George this weekend for a little reunion. We surprised Sallie since it was right after her birthday...sometimes you just need a good excuse & that one was perfect. It was SO much fun!! The four of us have seen each other over the years but not all together. Nikkie found us a condo for the weekend & it was great, much better than staying at a hotel. And St. George is gorgeous! It's been years & years since I've been there, I hardly recognized it. When you're driving north on the I-15 fwy the St. George temple comes up in front of you. It's a pure white temple against a red mountain background. Stunning! We all got in Friday before dinner. I drove up from Henderson & they all drove down together from the Salt Lake area (Sallie lives about an hour north of Salt Lake, Nikkie in the Salt Lake area & Melinda about an hour south of Salt Lake). We chatted for awhile & headed over to the Outback for dinner.
They were having these $10 steak specials....YUM! After dinner we headed to the grocery store to get some things for breakfast & lunch while we were there....and MANY munchies. Definitely a good idea to get a condo with a kitchen! Then we stayed up until 2:00 am chatting & watching Pride & Prejudice (2005). Well, Melinda & I stayed up. Nikkie fell asleep during the movie (just like she used to in college) & Sal headed to bed before it was over...some things never change! We slept in on Saturday morning until around 9:00! WOO HOO! Can't remember the last time I've done that! After hanging out & chatting all morning we went over for 2:00 massage appointments. Nice! Then it was on to shopping for a few hours (Melinda & Nikkie are shopping machines!), then to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and Red Lobster for dinner. More yum. And it was another evening of movies....Pride & Prejudice (LDS version), Emma & then An Ideal Husband. Yep, Nikkie fell asleep again & Sal didn't make it through all three either. Melinda & I think they're "lightweights"....but we love them anyway. This morning we slept in again, got up & put in the movie Stardust. While we were watching that we gave ourselves pedicures (Sallie did a manicure).

After packing up we headed over to the St. George temple before leaving.



What a fantastic weekend. I definitely need more of those in my life!! It's amazing how easily we fell back into "living together" mode. Almost like no time had passed. The best part was no kids (15 in total)! They all got to stay with the Daddies this weekend. And the Daddies definitely need more of those too...especially Coray!
